Cowboy 44 mag advice neededhttp://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?355178-Cowboy-44-mag-advice-needed&goto=newpost
Wed, 21 Feb 2018 13:04:35 GMTI'm trying to get ready to try a cowboy silhouette competition and need some advice. I'm using a 20" Rossi M92 in 44 mag. Boolit is a MP 432-640 that weighs 262gr with the small hollowpoint. I tried 7.0gr of Unique based on cowboy data I found on-line. 25, 50 and 75 yd results were fine. At 90 yds, they are unstable and I can't keep them on paper. Looks like I need a bit more velocity, but how much? I need a load that will reach out to 100 yds, but not be too hot for cowboy rules. Any suggestions for how much to increase the Unique charge?

Tue, 20 Feb 2018 06:30:15 GMTHow about listing safe loads using various powders. That you use regularly and what kind of performance you get from your loads.
I'm interested in those using Blue Dot. I'm casting the 125gr TC that consistently throws at 130gr.
I have a whole pound unopened sitting on my shelf. :oops:

I recently purchased an NOE 360-230 to use in my Remington 700 35 Whelen after hearing some glowing reports. After making up some dummy rounds I discovered that these things are nowhere close to actually making it into the chamber. From the left side of the stack they don't even come out of the magazine! What gives? Are you guys single loading your Whelens or am I missing something?

Sun, 18 Feb 2018 21:02:09 GMTCan anyone give me a good load , using Unique or similar powder, for flat base, cast bullets in 300, 350 and 405 grain bullet weight? I am wanting accurate loads, that don't kick like a mule. I just traded for a Remington rolling block, made by Remington in early 1990's I believe. It has a 30 inch, tapered round barrel, pistol grip stock, buckhorn sights, a silver blade front, and a Seoule rear micro adjustable long range peep sight, in as new condition! I have loaded a lot for the 45/70 with both jacketed and cast bullets, and shot some 350gr slugs with unique loads from here before, but lost the data. Any other good load data with conventional powder will be appreciated also!

Sun, 18 Feb 2018 12:18:49 GMTHi,

I bought a used NEI full bore 835 gr slug mold, which I intend to load for my Winchester SXP Extreme Deer (Rifled barrel).

I have 2 3/4" Cheddite hulls and Hodgdon Longshot powder. I also have x12x gas seals, nitrocards, and various height fiber wads.

Does anybody have a suggested load for this massive slug?

Fri, 16 Feb 2018 18:36:16 GMTAfter sundown last night I shot a single 3 shot group from three of my rifles. The last time I shot was during a Northern. That's why everything is to the left on target because there was no wind yesterday. My custom Mauser 30-30 with Lee C309150F over 25grs 3031 showed the 22-250 with factory 55gr Vmax what for. My Tikka 8x57 turned in a 2" group with PP 196 sp factory loads. To add to the insult the 30-30 wears a 4x Weaver w/post reticle; the 22-250 a 3x9 Nikon Coyote. I'm not sold on all the circles in that Nikon!

Fri, 16 Feb 2018 03:37:08 GMTjust got done shooting four cylinders out of my new ruger super Blackhawk hunter, 7 1/2" barrel, 22grs of 296, 270 grain keith, homemade moly lube. the potential for accuracy is definetly there, but I am going to back off to 20.5grs for tomorrow, because the last 2 inches or so of the barrel was leading. i am wondering a few things, my boolits turned out harder than I thought, so maybe this is an obturation once the pressure lowered thing, or maybe my lube wasn't up to the task, there wasn't a lube star, so first, I am just going to try the same thing but with the reduced load, then if it still leads, I was going to go to a softer boolit, then, all that failing, work on my lube? maybe add to it to make it a bit harder? before you ask, I couldn't afford to get a hardness tester, but I think it might have been up to 14-15bhn. thanks guys! this isn't gonna dampen my spirits any!

44.3gr of IMR4831 gave an average MV of 2180fps with a SD of 10.64
CCI large rifle primers were used. The group was fired at 100 yards laying prone out of the bed of my pickup using a bipod and a rear bag.
The rifle is a Rem 700 with a heavy 22” battle with a 1:10 twist.

I've recently returned to reloading and casting. I casted a batch of Lee's TL452-230-2R from wheel weights this weekend and powder coated for the first time...thanks for the help Smoke!

The rounds will be shot through a Gov. 1911 and a Glock 30s with Wolf barrel.

Before I get at it I was hoping to get some advice on my proposed recipe...I trying to get as close to factory ball performance as possible.

I was thinking 6gr of Unique with an OAL of 1.260. Brass and primer will be a mix of what I have laying around...

Thoughts?

Thanks and Cheers

Mon, 12 Feb 2018 19:24:24 GMTI am looking for a powder with slightly more bulk than Unique or Universal for easier load level observation when loading my 357 magnum. 125-135-148-158gr. Lead or J word boolits, 4" barrel. I would like a muzzle velocity of 900-1100 fps, because from long experience, those boolit/velocity parameters are sufficient for any reasonable purpose, and I would rather not shoot full snort loads. Trail Boss and 2400 need not apply!
Any suggestions will be gratefully received
Thanx!:-)
